Veterans and active-duty U.S. service members not in uniform may now render the hand salute during the playing the national anthem, thanks to changes in federal law that took effect this month and were opposed, through resolution, by The American Legion. The legislative change was sponsored by Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., an Army veteran, and included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009. The new provision impacts a little-known change in federal law last year that authorized veterans to render the hand salute during the raising, lowering or passing of the flag. But it did not address salutes during the national anthem. Last year’s provision also applied to members of the armed forces not in uniform.

Traditionally, members of veterans service organizations have rendered hand salutes, during the national anthem and at events involving the national flag, while wearing their organization’s respective official headgear.

“The military salute is a unique gesture of respect that marks those who have served in our nation’s armed forces,” VA Secretary James Peake said. “This provision allows the applica­tion of that honor in all events involving our nation’s flag.”

Tom Millican was an independent unaffiliated candidate for the office of the Presidency in the 2008 general election. The cause or axe to grind that pushed Tom Millican into the race was his belief that every elected official from the White House to the local city hall was failing to enforce the “Rule of Law.”

The Rule of Law is the glue that holds our country together. Thomas Pain said in his celebrated work “Common Sense” published in 1775, “For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king, and there ought to be no other.”

As an independent candidate Tom’s pipeline of information as well as creditable sources were limited. The lack of enforcement of our rule of law was centralized around the illegal invasion across our southern borders. Tom knew that if he followed the money trail he would soon find the catalyst that caused our country’s leaders to ignore our own laws. From point A Tom was taken down a path that opened a whole other world of sinister activity that would lead to the destruction of America as we know it.

The information and knowledge garnered by Tom would make a great movie. Lies, intrigue, death and destruction; Blackmail, backroom deals and the over throw of governments are the backdrops of this universal power and money grab for the control of the worlds monetary control.

Bring Tom to your next organization meeting and let him excite those in attendance with his first hand knowledge of why America is facing the greatest economic downturn in its history. From the battle of Waterloo to today Tom will take your audience to the birthplace of one of the greatest continuing thefts in the history of man.

Insight and education will be the by product of Tom’s speeches. Your audience will not doze off during Tom’s presentation. Knowledge is power and at this time in every American’s life they need all of the information they can get their hands on for the lack of information they may perish.

Tom Millican is a progressive conservative meaning that he believes that there are certain aspects of life that should be solidified creating a balanced platform from which everyone would have the opportunity to participate and receive the amount of reward that they are entitled to based on their point of satisfaction and effort.

Tom’s progressive side is that he believes that government should be the entity with the stick that has the carrot on the end of it. The US Space program is one such carrot. To hear about Tom’s “carrot” ideas invite him to speak to your organization.
